Marge and William Travelmore had not spoken to each other for half an hour. In fact, they hadn't looked at each other. Quarreling? Certainly not. They were perusing literature telling where they might spend a delightful week-end. "I have it,” exclaimed Marge. “We will go way up north to the lakes in Steuben County!” “Sounds good,” commented her husband. "I enjoyed myself when we went to Culver.' All Those Lakes “Listen, Will,” cried Marge. “It says there are more than ninety lakes in Steuben County. Just think, ninety lakes in which to swim and fish.” “Well?” “They call it the Switzerland of Indiana because of its unusual beauty and fresh air. Just listen.
the same store to match some goods for his wife. He picked up the bolt of goods which Mrs. White had looked at and found the pocketfcook. He brought It back to Washington, not knowing it belonged to Mrs. White. Next: Mrs. White wrote to Mr. and Mrs. Morton and incidentally mentioned the loss of her pocketbook. And incidentally, too, Morton told Hanson about it. “Why, I found a pocketbook just like that, and in a dry goods store,” said Hanson. Another letter to Mrs. White and the purse was identified and returned.
Will—'Come to Steuben County and get anew lining for your sootfilled lungs: get anew sparkle for your tired nerves; get a coat of tan on your arms and color to your cheeks.” “You're a wonder, Marge, we’ll go.” The Hoosier Motor Club advised them to take this route, 167 miles from Indianapolis: Drive north on Meridian St. onto the Hills and Lakes Rd.. also known as the Allisonville Rd., to NoblesviUe. Two Routes Here drive east on State Rd. .No. 33. passing through Lapel to Anderson, then north on State Rd. No. 7. Continue No. 7 to Ft. Wayne onto Custetf’f'rail.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
LA FOLLETTE CAMPAIGN FOR HIS PRIMARY PLAN
“MY OWN STORY" is an exclusive newspaper version of one ot the great autobiographies of modern times; La Follette’s own story of aventures in polities as written by himself in 1912. together with an authorized narrative of his experiences in the years since then. SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INSTALLMENTS La Follette is defeated for a fourth term in Congress in 1890 when Wisconsin goes heavily Democratic. The Democratic administration promptly sites all State treasurers of the past twenty years. When Senator Sawyer, a Republican boss, tries to bribe La Follette to talk to Judge Siebecker off the bench in the interests of the treasurers. La Follette exposes him. Immediately he, La Follette, is denounced on every hand for injuring the party machine. In the croipaign of 189(5, La Follette becomes anti-machine candidate for governor, and is defeated when the bosses “buy off" his delegates at the State convention. La Follette prepares a bill incorporating a plan for d:ret nominations and gives it wide publicity. I had been defeated in the State convention through fraud and corruption, but I went into the campaign with zest, and spoke in every important city and town In the State, closing the campaign In Milwaukee before an immense audience. The bosses would have been pleased had I the convention of 1896. The desperate means to which they were driven to control that convention convinced Sawyer and his associates of the growing strength of the opposition to the machine, and gave them serious apprehension. It was said when it was over. Sawyer, drawing a long breath, mopped his perspiring face and said: “I never want to go through so hard a fight ag’in.” Years afterward, Stephenson, who wp.s then with the machine, told m he (Stephenson) had said to them: Sympathy for Boh “I can't help feelin’ a good deal of sympathy for Boh La Follette. We’ve got the newspapers, the organization, the railroads, and all the money, and he is flghtin’ us all alone if hg'd a had money enough to buy a few more postage stamps, he'd a heat us sure.” T think Sawyer. Spooner, Pfister and Payne would have been glad to see me leave the party. Many of my close advisers, too, believed we should break from the Republican organization and try to build up anew reform party in the State. New parties are brought forth from time to time, and groups of men have come forward as their heralds, and have been called to leadership and command. But the leaders did not create the party. It was the ripe issue of events. It came out of the womb of time, and no man could hinder or hasten the event. No one can foretell the coming of the hour. It may he near at hand. It may he otherwise. Ryt if It should come quirkly, we may he sure strong leadership will l>e there: and some will say that the leaders made the party. But all great movements in society and government, the world over, are the result of growth. Progress may seem to halt; we may even seem to lose ground, but It is my deep conviction that it is our duty to do, day fr>y day, with all our might, as best we can for the good of our country the task which lies nearest at hand. The party does not consist of a few or of a controlling political machine. It consists of the hundreds of thousands of citizens drawn together by a common belief In certain principles. And it seemed to me then that it ought to Is- in the power of that groat body, the overwhelming majority of the party, to smash the machine. , o defeat corrupt leaders and to drive the officials of every rank who betray the majority out of public life. McKinley Wins McKinley carried the State by 103.000; Scofield by nearly 95,000. In the summer of 1897 I concluded to try the experiment of campaigning for reform in an off year. It had occurred to me that one might obtain a better hearing from people of all parties when they were not in the beat and fever of a political campaign. On the Fourth of July, 1897. I delivered an address at Mineral Point and took as my theme the “Dangers Threatening Representative Government. ”
I delivered substantially tho same address at Fern Doll, at the Waukesha Fair, and at the State Fair in Milwaukee. The opposition criticised the fair committees severely for setting apart a day for the appearance of a “demagogue and disturber” upon their grounds, but so long as the supporters and patrons of the association over the county were satisfied, the protests availed nothing. I was made, however, to feel their resentment on various occasions. On the fairground at Oshkosh, which was the home of Senator Sawyer, a determined effort was made to stop my adrress. I was speaking from a farm wagon which had been drawn on to the race track between the pavilion and the judge's stand. I had scarcely gotten under way with my address when the bell inthe judge’s stand gave the usual signal for starting the horse races. Dozens of uniformed boys distributed through the audience began shouting, “Score cards for sale; score cards for sale.” This was followed by the appearance of half a dozen or more horses coming on to the track a quarter of a mile away, and headed directly down upon the audience, forcing those standing upon the track to stampede to place? of safety. I saw that I must act quickly or lose the day, and I directed that the wagon in which I was standing, be drawn across the track. Then turning to the judge’s stand I announced that I was there on the invitation of the dissociation to deliver an address, and that 1 should not budge from my place until I had finished and, if again interrupted, my address would occupy the balance of the afternoon <o the exclusion of any other performance on that race track. # I think that not fewer

Paper Bought In the fall of 1897 a few friends of our campaign bought a country weekly published at Madison, called Old Dane. It was necessary to select an editor and the choice was an easy one. From the very beginning wo had not only the support of practically all university men throughout the State, but of substantially all of the students old enough to be in terested. The spirit of democracy pervaded university life, and a strong body of these line, clean, able fel lows have been conspicuous in all the progressive lights of Wisconsin from that day to this. One of the ablest an l most active of these students was a boyish-looking, towheaded Norwegian—later Congressman John M. Nelson. He canie from a farm in the town of Burke, a few miles out of Madison. He had taken rank as a student and a debater In the university and was one of the many students who early volunteered his services in the Haugen campaign, and likewise in the campaign of 1896. He accepted the position of editor of Old Dane, the name of which we changed to The State. We now' had a medium through which to maintain from week to week a campaign of education and the time seemed at hand to propose a constructive program. A new heading for the paper was designed. which set forth the following platform: Protection for the products of the factory and the farm. Round money, a dollar's worth dollar. Reciprocity in trade. Adequate revenues for Htate and Nation. Equal and Just taxation of all the property of each individual and every corporation transacting business within the State. Abolish caucuses and conventions. Nominate candidates by Australian ballot at a primary election.
Enact and enforce laws to punish bribery in every form by the lobby in the Legislature and wherever It assails the integrity of the public service. Prohibit acceptance hv public officials of railroad passes, sleeping car passes, express, telegraph and telephone frankß. Enact and enforce laws making character and competency the requisite for service In our penal and charitable institutions. Enact and enforce laws that will prohibit corrupt practices in campaign expenditures to a business hnsis. An economical administration^ FOR SKIN TORTURES Zemo. the Clean.

It began to exert a strong influence upon public sentiment. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)
